BUCATINI ALLA GRICIA
Pasta alla gricia is one of the oldest and tastiest dishes of Roman cuisine. It was initially considered a "poor man's meal" but is now enjoyed by everyone. A great dish when you have surprise guests to feed and an empty fridge.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of very lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet still pretty firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add guanciale and cook slowly until it has rendered all its fat and is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain bucatini and reserve cooking water.
- Transfer bucatini to the skillet with the guanciale and finish cooking the pasta in the pan juices, adding a little pasta water at a time until pasta has the right consistency. Stir in Pecorino Romano cheese and season with black pepper. Serve immediately.
